BUICK ENGINE ENAMEL & DECALS

ALL 1953 BUICK V-8 ENGINES

Recent inquires have been received regarding the identity and pssible availablility of the engine enamel used by the Buick factory on the V-8 engine.

Due to limited usage of this engine enamel, coupled with infrequent demand for it in the field, makes it inadvisable that either it or exact matches for it be established for distributionl. For those rare occasions where the engine block may require overall refinishing, (after complete removal of greas and other foreign matter has been accomplished), the recommendation of a close match in an already available "Dulux" color should prove entirely satisfactory. The following active "Dulux" colors are offered as being relatively close matches to the current factory finishes:

Occasionally there are requests for the Straight 8 and V-8 engine rocker arm cover decals. These decals are now available and may be ordered from:
